vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2022-1310 is a high-severity vulnerability discovered in Google Chrome's regular expressions implementation. The vulnerability was reported by Brendon Tiszka on March 18, 2022, and affects versions prior to 100.0.4896.88. It is characterized as a 'Use after free' vulnerability in regular expressions that could allow remote attackers to exploit heap corruption through a specially crafted HTML page (Chrome Release, NVD).

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. It is classified as CWE-416 (Use After Free), which occurs when previously freed memory is accessed, potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary code (NVD).

The vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption through a crafted HTML page, which could lead to arbitrary code execution. Given the high CVSS score and the critical nature of Use-After-Free vulnerabilities, successful exploitation could result in complete compromise of the affected system (NVD).

Google addressed this vulnerability in Chrome version 100.0.4896.88. Users and administrators are strongly advised to upgrade to this version or later to mitigate the risk. The fix was released as part of a security update that addressed multiple vulnerabilities (Chrome Release, Gentoo Advisory).
